%X Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a gram-negative bacterium mainly involved in foodborne diseases. Several pathways of antimicrobial resistance have been recently identified in this strain. This article reports a case of a patient hospitalized in intensive care who underwent emergency trauma surgery. During his hospitalization, he developed a nosocomial bacteremia from a surgical wound infection. The cytobacteriological examination of the surgical site and the blood culture isolated Salmonella spp. susceptible to third-generation cephalosporins, resistant to ertapenem, and with decreased sensitivity to imipenem. The carbapenemase test was positive for blaOXA-48. The serotyping identified Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. The patient's response to antibiotics was favorable.
